Thanks a lot for testing the patches!
Based on your comments, I can see that:
- Patch "fix DDB partitioning" improves the situation but doesn't completely
solve the problem
- Patch "unconditionally apply memory WAs" helps solving the remaining issues.
Is that correct?
If yes, then I suppose we'll be able to close the bug once the second patch
lands on the tree.
If not, I do have to point that we have even more fixes on the mailing list,
but then we should probably setup a separate branch with all the fixes applied
so you'll only need to clone that branch instead of having to apply patches
manually and solve conflicts.
